p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Lichens On Old Wooden Fences


These lichen images are more close-ups than macro. All were lit by flash, with the camera in manual mode and hand-held.

I am no lichen expert but I am fairly sure I have identified them correctly.

The yellow one (can be green) is Xanthoria parietina..

The grey one with the “jam tart” fruiting bodies, and no stiff whiskers, is Physcia aipolia.

The grey one without the “jam tart” fruiting bodies, and with stiff whiskers, is Physcia adscendens.

All can be found at all times of the year but they were photographed in late May.

Thanks, Brian.

These flat surfaces are the only opportunity to show whole colonies, which are normally wrapped around twigs.

I had to crop the fourth one, and save it at a lower resolution than normal, for the file size to be accepted.

I too see these on my well weathered cedar fence, love the yellows. Looks like corals, nice! Makes one wonder how much more there is to see when you get micro close, amazing.

Thanks, Karl. Lichens have been used as sources of dyes for centuries and still are. Some can make good macro stereo subjects too.
